Access to EU Funding - Teamnet International

For more than 8 years, we have provided our clients with consulting services in order to obtain funding and to implement EU-funded projects.

In addition to the recognisable development opportunities offered, accessing EU funding also requires a series of challenges that our clients are faced with in the implementing process of funding projects. They can turn into actual threats if not properly identified, prepared and managed. The implementing and management procedures in respect of these types of projects are complex and require multi-disciplinary knowledge as well as specific rigorousness which, for a relevant consultant – professional have already become modus vivendi.

Our team of consultants specialised in accessing EU funding has been renowned for their professionalism, expertise and exquisite professional conduct in their relations with clients. Moreover, the team has constantly approached clients with customised solutions for their actual needs, which thus guarantees the success of the project. The guarantee for success is first of all given by the ability of our team of consultants to establish measures to avoid financial and administrative bottlenecks. Nevertheless, our utmost asset is attitude, as required in our approach to the client, and sustainability of results.

We have an entire repository available to our clients interested in accessing EU funding: our experience, network of experts and collaborating partners, as well as the knowledge of each member of our team of specialists.

Private companies, public institutions and non-governmental organisations, all enjoy the benefits of projects implemented together because we lead our clients throughout every stage in the development of their projects. We are mainly focused on organisations operating in the following industries: environment, public services, Governing and transport.

Each project accounts for a unique learning experience for us. This is how we have come to understand that reviewed concepts may be applied in stages. We have learnt to combine work experience at national level with an emerging feeling of European identity and, in this way, we manage to provide for an enhanced potential in the region.

We have developed a series of modern and innovating techniques and programs to design our consulting projects with a view to gaining EU funds, in order to handle successfully competition on the market and clients’ demands.

Therefore, the services we offer to our clients are sustained by the experience gained in the preparation and implementation of a significant number of projects. We attend our clients at each stage in the development and performance of their projects, well aware of the fact that actually they are also our projects, our business card.

Our services encompass consulting services at all stages of the project, from the outline of needs and funding sources to project definition, its development and the end of the implementing period:

Identification of most relevant funding sources for the clients’ needs – it requires a review of all funding sources which are suitable for the client’s needs and provide for the development of the project idea;

Research & Development

Our approach in the relation with clients is first of all based on our understanding of the sensitive aspects related to the particularity of the organisation business. We provide our clients with flexibility and opening towards their needs and, at the same time, we make sure that the implemented project yields real value.

Moreover, upon every project start-up, we undertake an activity planning based on clients’ needs and a risk management plan with regard to the adequate context to foster the intended benefits within the beneficiary organisation, and we make sure that they are brought to the client’s knowledge, along with a specific action plan.

We are definitely aware that performance can only be reached with professionalism and determination. This is the reason why we are grateful to our clients because they provide us with the opportunity to outclass ourselves professionally, to become increasingly better and more competitive.
